Cisco Systems, Inc. Nexus 93108TC-EX network switch

Cisco Nexus 93108TC-EX managed switch

The Cisco Nexus 93108TC-EX is a managed, rack-mountable switch from the 9300-EX series. It provides 100GBase-X and 10GBase-T primary port speeds for high-density data centre and enterprise networks. Network engineers needing Layer 2 and Layer 3 control with 100 GbE uplinks will use this platform. The unit weighs 17.70 lb and was first listed by the manufacturer in 2025.

Verify rack space power and uplinks

Confirm that your rack can accommodate a rack-mountable chassis and that power distribution meets the switch requirements. Ensure existing cabling supports 100GBase-X or 10GBase-T interfaces for the intended uplinks and downlinks. Management software must be compatible with the managed operating system for configuration and monitoring. Validate that current network design can integrate the port density offered by this model.

Replaces older 10G fixed switches

This switch upgrades environments still running fixed 10G uplinks by adding 100GBase-X capability in the same form factor. The jump is worth it when bandwidth demand exceeds 10G aggregation limits or when a managed feature set is required for segmentation and telemetry. It does not suit buyers who need modular line cards or densities beyond the fixed port count. Organizations staying at 10G only will not utilise the 100G uplinks.
